Boy cited for taking porn to school

A 14-year old boy was cited with a class C felony after bringing digital images of pornography to school on Friday.

Bismarck Police Lt. Dan Donlin said staff at Wachter Middle School called police after finding pornography on the boy's Sony PlayStation Portable. The boy was charged with promoting obscenity to minors for showing other students the pornography.

Donlin said the boy also was cited with simple assault, a misdemeanor, for scratching another student with a key. Donlin said the student who was scratched was the one who told school officials that the boy had pornography on the PlayStation.

" Most parents are the root of the problem whether they want the liability or not. Society is the source of the problem for sure but most of these parents wouldnt care an inkling. Kids even at this age need to know the seriousness of the offense reguardless of what anyones opinion might be of how harsh the punishment. Look at the alternative of the perverts and pedafiles doing this stuff and how it harms our kids. I dont want this to be excusable enough to not deture others from showing _orn to my kid at school for sure. Bad things will always happen and be exposed to our children but to not crack down will never keep the problem from getting worse. Also there is a big difference between "naked" and the act of inappropiate "sex"(or _orn). "

" How can a 14-year-old “MINOR” know the difference between appropriate sexual expression and felony behavior? Charging this child is ridiculous. If you ask me, the whole country needs to be educated on sexuality, so the sexual objectification of women and children can stop. This boy comes from a culture of promiscuous sexuality and is no guiltier of promoting sexual activity to minors then the Internet provider from which he downloaded the images. Admittedly the activity should not be allowed in the classroom, but to ruin a child’s life because of it is ignorant to the extreme. "

" Unfortunate...yes it is sad. 14 year old arrested for po rn. But ..A rule is a rule. It will still go one however. There are probaly more instances in the schools now because of this event. Dont call the police call the parents, (they may want thier po rn back) Having it in school is just not the right place. We can't stop anyone from possessing it, but I agree that school is not the best place. It is right to omit it from the classroom. This also hold true for drugs, alcohol, weapons etc. Now lets get over this and pay attention to bigger problems. "

I myself don't believe in watching p0rn, but I couldn't imagine a 14 year old getting anything more than a slap on the wrist by his parents for being "curious". The law shouldn't have even been involved, personally I think a day or two suspension would have been sufficient, and people that think p0rn is immoral are correct, however teenage boys are curious and shouldn't be punished to this extent for their curiosity.

An in-depth description of the likely story. wrote on Apr 26, 2006 9:15 PM:

" So a kid gets *gasp* scratched with a key. [Just scratched, not stabbed, no stitches, just scratched.] This Scratcher kid is probably really smart and figured out how to input his own digital pictures into his PSP. He's excited about it and shows a few of his close friends. News about this quickly spreads throughout this middle school, hence the Rat finding out. It was the Rat's perfect chance, a way to get back at the Scratcher. He feels the need to go rat him out. So he tells his principle, probably throws in a few tears and the administration freaks out because the Rat is going to tell his parents. So what do they think of? "CALL THE POLICE! That will keep the Rat's parents off our backs!" So the police are called. *Ring* [The officers dive at the phone with nothing better to do, and the end of the month nearing so they need to meet the quota of their police-like duties.] "A child has been Scratched by a PORNOGRAPHY-OBSESSED BOY!" [Six officers are sent, just in case the 115 pound 14 yr old tries to escape and go into hiding.] The boy is taken out of his Life Science class hand-cuffed, to set an example, just so everyone can see the almighty police officers at work. He is then taken to the station. At the school all of the excited 13 yr olds tell all their buddies, and word eventually spreads to the newspapers. There's not much news going on so, of course, all of the reporters are sprinting to their cars to try and get the latest information first. They report that the child, the 14 year old CHILD, has received a class-C felony, and will now struggle trying to get his high-paying computer job when he’s 25 because this kid felt like being a rat and because this administration didn’t feel like dealing with this rat’s parents and because the police in this town have nothing to do but prosecute a 14 year old. He got a CLASS-C FELONY just because he was playing games in school and then showed his friends a couple of inappropriate pictures and another kid needs to wear a band-aid for all of the next 20 minutes. Wow. I can't wait to leave this insane place called Bismarck, ND. "

" I think the point ktj was trying to make was at 14, most boys do have sexual feelings and thoughts(show interest), whether we want to think about it or not. There was no mention about it being ok to have sex at a young age, just to have those feelings and thoughts. It's a normal part of growing up and puberty. By giving him such a harsh punishment, he just might think there is something terribly wrong with him for feeling the way he does and it might affect him later in life. Also, were the parents aware that he had this before he brought it to school? Probably not. He's 14. If they had, they probably would have taken care of the situation at home. "

" I feel it is up to the parents to teach their children about these types of things. If you ignore it, it is not going to go away. It needs to be addressed in the home, more so than anywhere else. You cannot blame a minor for adult actions. A felony charge for a 14 year old is kind of harsh. Depending on the charge. "boys will be boys", is the statement that most parents use when their child is in trouble. That is wrong, address the problem head on before it turns into something that cannot be controlled. Remember: Us as parents need to guide our children and tell them about life and the wrongs and rights of it. "

ss wrote on Apr 25, 2006 1:58 PM:

" ktj...What you are forgetting is that it is a 14 year old boy and the view you are having about 'it has become wrong to show interest in it' is the exact reason why kids are having sex and looking at pornography at such an early age. Why isn't is okay to set an example and let children know this is not okay? By charging him with this crime, it's a preventative act. If the parent isn't going to take care of the situation, than the state has to. I agree that ND needs to change its outlook on dealing with more severe crimes. But a crime is a crime and there are consequences for each one you commit. "

Ann wrote on Apr 25, 2006 1:51 PM:

" I think that that charge is a bit too much, for a 14 year old. True he should not have been in possession of pornography at school. Let alone being in possession of it as a minor. I don't see how that can rate a Class C felony. When an adult male charged with a Class C felony, sex with a 13 year old and giving her alcohol. Lured her to his place of work on the Internet. The prosecuting attorney, said he was not predatory? How can that not be? All he ended up getting was felony child abuse child neglect. 3-year probation does not have to be a registered sex offender. At the end of the 3 years his slate is wiped clean. As if the charge never happened. The only jail time this adult male did, was the night he spent in jail. what a crock. So lets hope the prosecuting attorney does right by this kid. "

Yet ND is locking up minor drug offenders and alcoholics. It costs more for tax payers to lock up drug/alcohol offenders then it is to put them through treatment. Why lock them up with drug offenders that don't want to change. Lock up the murders, rapists, and sex offenders. ND has to change. If ND started releasing drug offenders over 85% of the inmates would be released, opening up the prison for offenders that are a bigger risk to the community and their children. "

" A class C felony? Haven't most 14 year old boys looked at or tried to look for pornography? And wouldn't most of them flaunt thier findings? I thought it used to be normal for boys that age to look at this type of thing. I agree it is unacceptable to bring it to school and there should be some sort of punishment, but a felony charge? What have we become? What are we telling kids about sexuality? I guess it has become wrong to show interest in it. "
